So right now I'm helping my company out by converting all of our old cassettes to MP3 through audacity. The problem that I'm running in to and haven't seemed to quite figure out yet is that the recording is going into audacity as a mono and I want it to be stereo. I tried the different recording channels but that hasn't helped either. What can I do?

If you're using Vista or Windows 7 you should use Audacity 1.3.12.
In Audacity 1.3.12
Edit menu > Preferences > Devices > set "recording channels" to "2 (stereo)".
In Vista and Windows 7 you need to go into the Windows Control Panel and in the "Sounds" section, set it to record 2 channel stereo (the default is usually mono).
If you are recording from a "microphone input" on your computer, the socket may only be mono.
